Github Setup

For my current PowerShell series I am using several tools.

First, there is Git as I am posting code to a public GitHub.  For this process I have two options Git via CLI and Git via GUI.

Git CLI:

• For my current installation I installed Git CLI via Chocolatey. 
• I followed steps outlined by James Sturtevant on his post: 5 Ways to Install Git on Windows      
• http://www.jamessturtevant.com/posts/5-Ways-to-install-git-on-Windows/#using-chocolatey

Git GUI:

• For the GUI side I utilize GitKracken. 
• It is OS agnostic which is nice when I have access to both Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. 
• https://www.gitkraken.com/

Second, is the text editor I have recently switched to:Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/).  Visual Studio Code is OS agnostic like GitKracken offering installation on Linux, Windows, and Mac.  In addition there are "Extensions" to add additional features to the base program. Currently I am using PowerShell extension to allow writing code and executing in one window (similar to PowerShell ISE) but also supports Git commands to quickly commit and push to current Repo.   I have barely begun to learn Visual Studio Code and imagine it can do much more then what I currently use it for.

PowerShell Project

Recently I have been looking at the mess of PowerShell scripts I have created at  current and past employers.  I realized that many though could be useful to others where to hard coded in the menu driven way I created that.  To resolve this I am going back and re-writing them into more true PowerShell scripts using proper Verbs and full Get-Help syntax.

I will post about each one and provide details about them here in addition to hosting them publicly on GitHub: https://github.com/clee1107/Public
